How Do You Cope? · Kelsey Waghorn: 'There’s nothing quite like someone telling you, "you are normal"' · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

Yeah.

I think you've,

hit the nail on the head with that one with it being yeah you forged for you and against you so um initially sort of in hospital I guess I had my head on side I suppose for lack of better description but um

Yeah, because a lot of that early stuff was all focused on physical recovery.

So there was a lot of focus on sort of just rehab and rest, which was very easy to sort of focus on because it was all you could do.

That was all I could do from bed.

It was rest and physio.

And then sort of once that intensive period of physical rehab calmed down, that's when my brain sort of started demanding a bit more attention, I suppose, which I thought I was giving it because I was still seeing the psych.

I've been seeing a psych in heart hospital as well.

While I'm gonna come and see me in my room and we just get away.

But yeah,

As I found out the hard way, sometimes you actually need to change what you're doing based on sort of the outcomes you're getting, not just sort of go, well, I am seeing a therapist.

This must work at some point.

This is just taking a bit longer than I thought or getting impatient with it sort of thing.

So, yeah, things got significantly worse for me.

I ended up pretty much with every symptom of PTSD other than nightmares, which I'm quite grateful for.

I had a few but overall not really that many which is good but yeah just like massive deterioration and yeah I think the way that PTSD is sort of portrayed in movies where it's like there's no good outcome it's always like a really nasty horrible end was sort of how it felt like it was going to end for me as well either by my own hand or

yeah I don't know it just it didn't seem like there was a good way out and it didn't seem like there was a way out because I thought I was doing all the right things and I tried EMDR and that it made things worse I've been seeing a psych since 2016 and that didn't seem to be helping and so you kind of get stuck in your head and like you have these reactions and then you sort of

you sort of cave in a little bit on yourself a bit more and you hate yourself a little bit more, which sort of, I guess, adds fuel to the fire, which you don't really realize you're doing at the time is when you've kind of got this negative cycle going, it just sort of makes things worse and worse.

And I was getting worse and worse.
